EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intriguing story of Rodrigo de Jerez, a companion of Christopher Columbus, whose scandalous act of smoking in public led to his imprisonment. In the bustling streets of Barcelona, amidst curious onlookers and disapproving authorities, Rodrigo dared to indulge in this newfound habit that would forever change history. The image portrays a moment frozen in time, where we witness Rodrigo's audacity and defiance against societal norms. The engraving adds a sense of nostalgia and mystery to the scene, transporting us back to the 15th century when tobacco was still an enigma. Rodrigo's actions were met with severe consequences as he found himself at odds with the powerful Inquisition. This unexpected clash between tradition and exploration highlights how even seemingly innocuous acts can challenge established beliefs. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the immense power that scientific discoveries hold over society. From Columbus' groundbreaking voyages to new lands to Rodrigo's introduction of tobacco into Europe, these moments shape our understanding of progress and innovation. Through Bitard Adolphe's "Popular history of science, inventions and discoveries from the first centuries to the present day" this image serves as a testament not only to Rodrigo de Jerez's personal journey but also as a symbol for all those who dare to question conventionality in pursuit of knowledge.
